Conversion formula

The conversion factor from decimeters to kilometers is 0.0001, which means that 1 decimeter is equal to 0.0001 kilometers:

1 dm = 0.0001 km

To convert 1568 decimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 1568 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from decimeters to kilometers. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 dm → 0.0001 km

1568 dm → L_(km)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the length L in kilometers:

L_(km) = 1568 dm × 0.0001 km

L_(km) = 0.1568 km

The final result is:

1568 dm → 0.1568 km

We conclude that 1568 decimeters is equivalent to 0.1568 kilometers:

1568 decimeters = 0.1568 kilometers
